My company is OneRain. We are experts in measuring rainfall and its consequences. We've been a company since 1992, and some of us started doing this type of work before that. I had no background in environmental or atmospheric science when I started - I got it all the long way.
I didn't expect to be a businessperson but rather pursued science. It took me forever to get out of graduate school with "a masters degree, in science!", I think because I wasn't satisfied with a theoretical life. I was 34 when I had my first real outside job in 1988. I loved the hands-on real world. I got sucked into a startup business and life as I had known it ended, becoming something brand new. Since then, that seems to happen regularly. Now I'm almost 52 - change is good.
I have not blogged before, nor does it seem natural to me. I did write long letters to friends and family members when I was younger, a habit I lost when I began using email. I've used email extensively since very early; in 1981 I moved to Munich for a number of years and email was the way to stay connected. The tendency to elaborate verbally has stayed with me - I type fast and haven't switched away from normal-length English words.
I am a long-time nerd according to those who know me. I masquerade as a well-socialized human, but I am irresistibly drawn to technology and geek toys - always have been. I love to drive (or fly, or ski, or sail, or ...); fast machines that handle well are wonderful. Now you know a few of my vulnerabilities. The rest will emerge over time.
Much to my amazement, I have now been working with rainfall and its consequences for almost two decades. 'Not sure how that happened. I have learned a lot, mostly about what I don't know yet.
I look forward to the discussions I might find myself in, should you, dear Reader, choose to converse. Thanks in advance for your interest.
